I work in IT and my boss is precisely like this. We don't manage mobiles but wireless. He's talked about scanning the multi-campus network to find unauthorized microwaves that he can have removed.

Because of course, it might cause _some_ interference for 30 seconds at a time right? Yeah.

If you are in the US, it's likely illegal for your boss to try to regulate microwave ovens based on causing wifi interference - that's solely the job of the FCC.

The regulations that allow the use of 2.4Ghz ISM band require you to accept that interference....

... Not if the microwaves are in your control. You can certainly police microwaves on your own campus. (Not that this is an intelligent idea.)

<grumble>I think it's an intelligent idea if you're providing blanket coverage and idiots are setting up their own linksys's that can't even dhcp on due to mac filtering. </grumble>

What does that have to do with hunting down microwave ovens?
